Chapter 12766 Hand over your storage ring

Ouluan is extremely powerful. As the fifth in the upper house of the Tenkakai, his power is strong and mysterious, enough to scare his enemies.

However, at this moment, he was in an unprecedented crisis. An evil force quietly invaded his body, as if the evil spirit from the abyss was slowly occupying his soul.

This force was extremely powerful. Even a strong man like Ou Luan was momentarily confused by it.

His soul seemed to be bound by cold iron chains, unable to freely control the energy in his body. The energy that had originally obeyed his orders, like a violent storm, was now like a wild horse running wild in his body, making it impossible for him to control it.

Facing Ling Xiao's next attack, although he saw the fierce sword energy, his body seemed to be fixed and he was unable to make the necessary defensive moves.

At the moment when Ling Xiao's attack was about to fall, an unprecedented despair surged in Ou Luan's heart. His body seemed to be surrounded by cold sea water, and the biting coldness came from all directions.

He knew clearly that if no one could stop Ling Xiao at this critical moment, he would die without a burial place.

Ling Xiao's attack was like the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth, rushing towards him with endless killing intent. His pupils shrank at that moment, as if they wanted to swallow up the whole world.

He could feel the pressure from that force, as if the entire sky was pressing down on him. He knew that he was about to face an inescapable death.

At the critical moment of life and death, a figure as towering as a mountain descended from nothingness like lightning and stood steadily in front of Ou Luan.

The owner of this figure exudes an indescribable pressure, as if it is a vast ocean, with surging waves, deep and vast.

Under the pressure of this momentum, Ou Luan and Ling Xiao felt unprecedented pressure, as if the whole world was enveloped by this power at this moment. They held their breath involuntarily and stared at the powerful man who suddenly appeared.

Ling Xiao looked up at the strong man, frowning, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He asked coldly: "If I was defeated today, would the headmaster also help me in the same way?"

The Grand Master, the most powerful being in the sect, nodded slightly, his voice calm and firm:
"Yes!" His words revealed an unquestionable determination. "In fact, from the beginning, I didn't want any of you to get hurt. Therefore, I have already decided that no matter who loses in this contest, I will help them."

The words of the Grand Master echoed in the air, like the sound of a huge bell, shaking the hearts of everyone present. They all admired the Grand Master's vision and courage, and were also full of anticipation and nervousness for the upcoming battle.

Under the protection of this powerful man, Ou Luan was finally able to catch his breath. He looked at the headmaster gratefully, his heart filled with awe and gratitude. He knew that it was the timely appearance of this powerful man that saved him from a life-and-death crisis.

"Well, since you, the Grand Dean, have come in person, I will naturally give you this face." Ling Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the Grand Dean with a firm gaze. There was a bit of provocation in his tone, but more of a firmness that could not be questioned. "However, since I won this life-and-death battle, you can't let me return empty-handed, right?"

He changed the subject and glanced at Ou Luan sharply: "Ask him to hand over the storage ring, but don't allow him to take anything from it. Otherwise, today's matter will not be so easy to let go. Moreover, since you, the Grand Dean, have chosen to interfere in this life-and-death battle, you must also give me some compensation."

Ling Xiao's tone gradually became tougher, and he raised his chin slightly, obviously striving for his own best interests.

"My request is not much." He held up four fingers, "Give Meng Haoqing, Weiwei, Lingbi, and me the right to practice in Tianling Palace for free for one month each."

The cultivation resources of the Tianling Palace are what we disciples dream of. Since there is this opportunity, Ling Xiao will not miss it.

The headmaster frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure. He knew very well that his interference in this life-and-death battle had indeed caused Ling Xiao to suffer a little. Moreover, Ling Xiao's request was not excessive. The qualification to practice in the Tianling Palace was indeed extremely precious to the disciples.

But it can't compare to his face.

"Okay." The headmaster nodded. Although his tone was calm, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He looked at Ling Xiao and said lightly, "You are very courageous and you know how to fight for your own interests."

Then, the headmaster turned his gaze to Ou Luan, and said sternly, "Since you lost, you have to pay the corresponding price. Either hand over the storage ring, or I will not ask about this matter today and let Ling Xiao deal with it. You decide for yourself."

Ou Luan was standing in front of Ling Xiao at this moment, his face pale and his eyes full of unwillingness and frustration.

He knew very well that he had been defeated in today's battle without any chance of fighting back. Ling Xiao's unique way of attacking the soul made him feel unprecedented despair.

He recalled every detail of the battle, the moments when his soul was torn apart, as if they were still vivid in his mind, filling his heart with fear and powerlessness.

He knew that if he chose not to admit defeat at this moment, a more cruel result would be waiting for him. Although he was filled with humiliation and unwillingness, he still forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his inner fluctuations.

"I lost." Ou Luan's voice was a little hoarse. He looked up at the Grand Master, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes. "Thank you for your mediation, Grand Master."

After saying this, he seemed to have used up all his strength. He slowly stretched out his hand and took off the precious storage ring in his hand.

This storage ring is not only a tool for him to store things, but also a symbol of his hard work and adventures over the years. It contains countless treasures and secret books, which he has carefully collected and spent a lot of effort to obtain.

However, at this moment, he had to hand it over. He held the storage ring tightly, as if he wanted to draw the last bit of strength from it. But in the end, he let go and threw the storage ring to Ling Xiao reluctantly.

The storage ring drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally fell into Ling Xiao's hands. Ou Luan looked at this scene, his heart filled with bitterness.

He knew that what he lost was not just a storage ring, but also years of hard work and accumulation. But he also understood that compared to life, these external things seemed so insignificant.

He took a deep breath and tried to look calmer. He knew that even though he had failed, life had to go on. He couldn't continue to dwell on failure and humiliation. He had to pick himself up and move on.
